My Prison Cell
Camille Mar 2020
Outside these metal bars is a forest of paradise
Where one seeks peace and calmness within
The soft waves and the calming ocean breeze
I breathe in deeply, It is a lovely sight to see

But in my miserable state, I am unable to be free
To experience these beautiful things that I see
I see people who enjoy from sunrise to sunset
Dancing and celebrating to the beat of the drums
Able to see, touch, and hear around them
Able to do anything they want since they have everything

Haunted
Camille Mar 29
The skeletons in my closet wonder
Unanswered questions, I dare to ask
Haunting my ever existing body, it asks and tells
I answer, they stumble and mumble my name
My humbled body slumbers to its death, waiting to awake once again.

Truth be Told
Camille Mar 2020
I, a trapped spirit tried to break free
To break away from my own prison cell, my body
To break away from these shackles pulling me back to where I started, my own thoughts and insecurities
To tell the truth about a situation
To seek justice for myself
Is that wrong?
To speak for the people who need justice?
To voice out what most people cannot admit?

Lingering remains
Camille Oct 2020
And in an instant, everything became black
And still, here you are Zac
Not looking back, but straight into my eyes
Still hearing echoes of painful cries
Staring straight into my soul with a painful glare
And I turned back and you were still there

Paglubog
Camille Mar 31
sa bawat pagpatak ng ulan
sa bawat pagbuhos ng aking luha
ako'y sumasayaw magisa
puno ng pighati at saya
ako'y nalulubog sa aking emosyon
sa bawat ngiti, hiya, at tiyaga,
ako'y nagiisa, ngunit di ako nagiisa.

— The End —
